Doctor’s Uncertainty
Unfortunately, the vets could only say that at the time, they could not predict if Khan would survive. One vet told Catherine, “We don’t know yet, madam. We did what we could, but now his body has to fight the poison. The anti-venom will certainly help, but we don’t know to what extent. It’s best that you come back tomorrow morning.” With this news, her heart sank because she hoped for better news. Yet, there was still some hope to cling onto.
Suffering Insomnia
When Catherine left the vet, she only thought about Khan.Everything from the day replayed in her head while her mind continued racing. She couldn’t get any sleep. Therefore, she looked on as her baby slept. She never predicted this was how her day would have played out. All she felt was gratitude Charlotte was safe and heavy guilt. Wasn’t there more she could have done to save her poor dog?
